So I should stop getting pee'd on by Asian hookers?

that's so weird, just a moment ago i was sitting here at work daydreaming about the last time I did that.

FTFA: Genetic studies show the virus that killed the Japanese occurred in Japan...

Oh my God! The Japanese are dead!!! Why didn't this make bigger news? This will play hell on Asian markets? Where will we get our cars? Of course it occurred in Japan - if you're a virus bent on killing the Japanese, where you gonna go? Detroit?

If all of the Japanese are dead, who will the octopi and ghosts and robots rape now?

The viruses in the ticks were isolated in Vero cell culture, and the RNA sequences of these viruses were very closely related but not identical to the SFTSV isolated in samples obtained from the patients (data not shown). There was no epidemiologic evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus.

Yes, the Japanese man did not die from a strain that could be traced to China.That, however, does not mean it's necessarily materially different.The same evidence that ruled out a direct path seems to stand in support of it being effectively the same disease in both places.

And if it's only at 12% with the benefit of bad conditions, it's still fair below the bubonic plague, which is still at 30+% despite modern medicine (and up to 80% in bad conditions).
